2012 Montreal Beer Festival

Why?The Grand Prix isn't the only game in town.

If you need a break from the F1 mayhem, head down to Place Bonaventure this weekend for some beer bedlam. It won't be any quieter than downtown but at least you'll be able to do what F1 weekend really is all about: drink. Enjoy a brew from Brouwerij Van Honsenbrouk, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, and Redstone Meadery -- you know, the supercars of the beer world. The 2012 Montreal Beer Festival runs from June 6th-10th.
